løyst

"Løyst" is a Norwegian word that translates to "solved" or "resolved" in English. It is derived from the verb "løse," which means "to solve," "to loosen," or "to dissolve." The word can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a mathematical or problem-solving context, "løyst" indicates that a puzzle, equation, or dilemma has been successfully figured out or answered. For example, "Problemet er løyst" means "The problem is solved." It can also refer to untangling a physical object, such as a knot or a tangled string. "Tauet er løyst" would translate to "The rope is loosened" or "The rope is untangled."

The term also extends to situations requiring a solution or a conclusion. If a conflict is settled or an issue is put to rest, it can be described as "løyst." For instance, "Striden ble løyst fredelig" means "The dispute was resolved peacefully." In a more abstract sense, it can imply that a mystery has been unraveled or a question answered. The past participle form "løyst" is commonly used to describe the state of having been solved or resolved.
